Truss Frames
GALVANIZED STEEL FRAMES
Our heavy duty galvanized steel truss frames are constructed to be bolted
together, side to side or end to end, to form the desired configuration needed
for your dock design. These frames work well in a variety of applications
and we are happy to provide you with a CAD layout designed to meet your specific
needs. In any design proper frame layout is important due to a wide variety
of materials now available for decking. We must consider dock usage and loading,
and provide the proper flotation requirements.
The basic frame design
is built strong enough to support concrete decking and we also offer special
frames to support the new composite deck materials available such as Weyerhaeuser
ChoiceDek7 or TREX7 Easy Care Decking.
Typical hot-dip galvanized
12" box truss steel frames are welded trusses utilizing all angle iron construction.
Our frames are mig welded in a frame jig to ensure the precise tolerances
are kept. Minimum angle size at the bolted connections are 3" x 3" x 1/4",
with main rails not less than 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 3/16". Truss diagonals and
cross bracing are not less than 1" x 1" x 1/8" angle. Round rods are also
utilized as an option to angle in truss frame construction. All frames to
